1. Cytoplasm - ANSWER FLUID and ORGANELLES outside the nucleus ->
WORKSPACE for things to get accomplished
-Water, electrolytes, proteins, fats, glycogen
-Pigments
2. Pigments: normal vs abnormal - ANSWER Example: melanin gives skin color
(normal);
- Abnormal would be when the body breaks down old RBCs, pigments in the
blood cells change the pigment to bilirubin, a build up causes jaundice
3. Organelles - ANSWER -Ribosomes
-Golgi Complex
-Mitochondria
-Lysosomes
-Proteasomes
-Endoplasmic reticulum rough and smooth
,4. Ribosomes - ANSWER site of protein synthesis
5. Endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER) - ANSWER *has ribosomes attached to
it*
6. Proteins made by the rough ER usually end up as organelles, or cell membranes,
or are secreted as cell proteins
7. Endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) - ANSWER has no ribosomes so does
NOT participate in protein synthesis.
- Instead it synthesizes/stores lipids like hormones or carbohydrates like
glycogen for extra glucose
8. Golgi complex - ANSWER takes the substances produced in the ER and
*packages them (in secretory granules or vesicles)* for transport.
9. The reverse can also happen, substances from the cell surface can be retro-
transported into the cell
10. Mitochondria - ANSWER Powerhouse of the cell
-where cellular respiration occurs-> cellular respiration requires oxygen-> oxygen
needed for creation of ATP (energy)
- contain enzymes that can change carbon-containing nutrients into energy that is
needed by cells
,11. lysosomes - ANSWER *clean up crew*
- contain enzymes that break down (DIGEST) excess or old cell parts and
foreign substances (phagocytosis).
12. Proteasomes - ANSWER break down proteins
They recognize mis-formed or misfolded proteins for degradation.
13. Cell membrane contains: - ANSWER lipid bilayer
14. Lipid bilayer - ANSWER •the basic fluid structure of the membrane and
serves as a semipermeable barrier.
15. Phospholipids - ANSWER -a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail
16. Integral proteins... - ANSWER span the entire lipid bilayer
-> ion channels
17. Peripheral proteins - ANSWER bound to one or the other side of the
membrane.
18. Glycoalyx - ANSWER •participates in cell-to-cell recognition and adhesion
, -external surface dealing with cellular communication
19. Cell membrane functions: - ANSWER -provides receptors for hormones
and other biologically active substances.
-Participates in the electrical events that occur in nerve and muscle cells.
-Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation.
20. Hydrophobic tails= - ANSWER repels water
-everything stays in space it was intended to stay in (water)
importance of hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails in regards to medication -
ANSWER -some meds water soluble
-some meds lipid soluble
-> some will need active transport thru the membrane
4 types of cellular communication - ANSWER autocrine, paracrine, synaptic,
endocrine
autocrine - ANSWER the cell talking to itself
